Residence Life and Food Service
Cornell is a residential college where students enjoy the values and
benefits of community living. Students are required to live on campus in
one of the traditional residence halls or in a campus apartment unless
they live with their parents in the Mount Vernon area; are married; or
are more than 25 years old. Permission for these exceptions must be
obtained through the Dean of Students.
The various College residence halls, houses, and apartments differ in size, architecture, style, and atmosphere. Some are coed and some are single-sex buildings. All are located within easy walking distance of the classroom buildings, the Library, The Commons, and the Life Sports Center. The oldest residence hall was built in 1885 and the newest in 1984. A few single rooms are available and are assigned according to seniority.
An activity fee is collected from all residence hall students at the beginning of the school year in order to provide funding for social and educational activities in the buildings. The programs are generally coordinated by House Councils and the Resident Assistant (RA) staff. Student RAs live on each floor to help with building management and to offer assistance and direction to residents. The Director and Assistant Directors of Residence Life administer and provide leadership for the residence life program.
Cornell Food Service is provided by the Sodexho Marriott Corporation. Everyone is required to eat in one of the three dining rooms in The Commons. Students have the option of contracting for either 20 or 14 meals per week (or for lunches only if they live off campus). Students may eat as much as they wish at each meal. The Food Service offers a wide variety of foods, including vegetarian and special dietary meals. Choices include salad bar, ethnic theme dinners, and deli bar. Special meals are prepared for holidays and special events. The Rathskeller is open throughout the day and evening and offers full meals, pizza, snacks, desserts, and beverages.
